For those of you that follow my Blog, you may have also been following the development of my community initiative for the preschool music program I called Up Beat!, which is now coming to a close for the 2015-16 school year. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the children that participated in the program and have gained a wealth of knowledge about early childhood development and education through my preparation for our sessions and from the interactions I've had with the kids. Here is an earlier post about the goals of the program: click here
I don't usually toot my own horn (unless it's during a tuba lesson ;) ), but I'm very humbled to share that I was awarded with the EASD Teacher Recognition for Community Service for my work with the preschool music program. You can read about it here. I couldn't have earned this award without two very supportive principals (Thank you so much Mrs. Brewer and Mr. Kiehl!) and EASD administration, as well as the participation of the children and families who spend a 1/2 hour with me every Tuesday. Needless to say, I am very excited to see where this program will go in the future!
Speaking of the future, in order to plan for next year, I have created a survey to gather information about scheduling, likes and dislikes, and about the community that the program serves. The survey is designed for participants as well as families of children who may be interested in participating during the 2016-17 school year. Even if you are not eligible for the program, please pass this blog post on to those you know who would benefit and live in the EASD school district. Please spread the word to help our program grow!

I hope to see lots of old and new faces when we start Up Beat! in the fall!
